GNSO: IDN EPDP Working Session

Agenda: https://community.icann.org/x/TgBUEQ

This session discussed two outstanding issues from the Charter Questions from Phase 2 of the EPDP on IDNs. These were:

1. Whether or not the EPDP should make a recommendation on the need for registries to evolve their own systems for IDN Table Harmonization; and
2. If the information returned by RDDS should include information on the variant set, noting that RDDS does not currently provide for information on variants.
